IF I GET SICK OF IT
Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh ouh
Everybody is writing a song about hitting the road ‘til the end
I don’t wanna break the dream but it’s a pretty big commitment
I wouldn’t walk into the sun my skin would peel off
Now I wonder what magical trick makes us do it
We all aim for the stars how high can you jump
Can both of your ankles handle the fall
Everybody is writing a song about hitting the road ‘til the end
I don’t wanna break the dream but it’s a pretty big commitment
I really hope that we’ll hold on our shit until Grim comes for our necks but
I don’t wanna make believe I won’t quit if I get sick of it
I don’t wanna preclude tomorrow
Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh ouh
You should aim for the stars
you should aim for the stars no doubt
You should aim for your dreams
Yeah I think you should do it
You just cannot pretend
You just cannot pretend to love
You just can’t fake a smile
I don’t think you should do it
Don’t do it
Cause
Everybody is writing a song about hitting the road ‘til the end
I don’t wanna break the dream but it’s a pretty big commitment
I really hope that we’ll hold on our shit until Grim comes for our necks but,
I don’t wanna make believe I won’t quit
If I get sick of it
I really hope that we’ll hold on our shit until Grim comes for our necks but,
I don’t wanna make believe I won’t quit
If I get sick of it
I don’t wanna preclude tomorrow
Ouh ouhou houh ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ah ha haaaaaa

Marvellous
You make me laugh and sometimes cry
You make me hurt so deep
I realize how empty I’m inside
For just for one word I couldn’t say
A silent thought destroyed my day
My mouth gets stuck my brains go wild
That extra second there
Just put me in an awful awkward spot
I see you frown I sense the storm
It all goes quickly now
I feel the shame got stuck deep in my throat
But it was, marvellous
If I couldn´t say it
Hear me sing it
It was marvellous
The tile floor was way too high
I would have changed into a little rat
Or squirrel to run and hide
I closed my eyes I swear I tried
The guilt and shame had struck me so hard
I almost felt like I could die
But it was, marvellous
If I couldn´t say it
Hear me sing it
It was marvellous and I loved every single minute
it was marvellous, it was marvellous
So lost I crawled my way through the clouds
To the fire in your eyes
Outbrained to upgrade your words
All I found to say was ‘’dichotomy’’
Then I feared the worst but you smiled at me…
it was marvellous
If I couldn´t say it
Hear me sing it
It was marvellous and I loved every single minute
it was marvellous
it was marvellous

In these dark times we all share
I sometimes freeze cause I get scared
That the safe space I have built around me crumbles
I still try to do my share
Destroyers break, creators dare
Some say it’s good, some say it’s bad, I wonder
If I were more like you, what would I do ?
Would I complain point out my finger
Any time you failed my truth
You disagree with me I don’t with you
It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through
Jojo juge, Jojo jury
I am love but you don’t see me
Fighting your own kind won’t make you stronger
Battles fought made us tired
Even some of us retired
We only lose when we divide they conquer
If I were more like you, what would I do ?
Would I complain point out my finger
Any time you failed my truth
You disagree with me I don’t with you
It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through
It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through
You’re always so damn serious
I know we could all be better
But don’t let yourself go bitter
And whatever happens most of us
Still want to have fun
If I were more like you what would I do ?
Would I complain point out my finger
Any time you failed my truth
You disagree with me I don’t with you
It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through
It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through
It’s not that terrible somehow

Crazy heart
My crazy heart has been receiving darts
Tearing down the different parts
That brought us to a start so what now
Stories change, our fuel burns out to heavy weights
The loss we’ve gained released me
So I’m stuck here in the middle
Of this pathetic riddle
Is there a way to see this through?
And I’m so damn tired of being so fired up
Cause of what we won’t do
Are we broken?
My crazy heart has been receiving darts
I threw more than one myself
Not one of them has failed to hurt now
Who’s been fooled
Times’ twisted memories will rule
I hope we won’t forget, not to regret
Cause I’m stuck here in the middle
Of this pathetic riddle
Is there a way to see this through?
And I’m so damn tired of being so fired up
Cause of what we won’t do
Are we broken?
Are we broken?
I know this may not go the way we hope
We’ve been actors here before
Sunrise behind the clouds a tiny glow
Will clear out to quite a show
I know …
We’ve been actors here before
Sunrise…
Are we broken, are we done, are we done?
Cause I’m stuck here in the middle
Of this pathetic riddle
Is there a way to see this through?
And I’m so damn tired of being so fired up
Cause of what we won’t do
Are we broken? Are we done?
Are we done?

Voice of Silence
03:52

I´ve always tried to move forward
The shell can´t crack
Careful to cover my tracks
I threw away most memories
The good and bad
So I could never look back
But silence speaks to me so louder
When trying to cheat what I should remember
The body screams our pain and laughter
All that we think we´ve sealed
Is not locked inside forever
It´s all coming back some way or another
I keep the noise up to avoid the faceless fear of
The Thought Reaper
She always sings at night with discomfort
They all cannot be thrown but hide away
When I lie to sleep, there´s no more liar
I only preach so long without her
Now I know her threnody…
Whispering sounds
The wrinkles on your frown
Rise up your heat, it freezes your feet
Never shut down
Cause silence speaks to me so louder
When trying to cheat what I should remember
But silence speaks to me so louder
When trying to cheat what I should remember
The body screams our pain and laughter
All that we think we´ve sealed
Is not locked inside forever
As we concede to bleed and feed
The open scars to our own personal deceit
While we all cheat what we should remember

Fog
I walk this line
One tiny heart beat at a time
This cycle’s aching
To make it through the day
I chose you five
To join me on this rocky ride
It won’t be long now
We’ll make it anyhow
It comes and goes like breathing air
When Fog’s around she’s everywhere
I’m lost in time
A concept with which I fail to rhyme
My body’s weakness
A state on which I thrive
Your Love
Has healed me beyond and above
My expectations
Now I think I should go
It comes and goes like breathing air
When Fog’s around she’s everywhere
My warrior soul
Just passing by to clear the door step
From the shadows
That I’ve embraced before
Turn on the light
If you want to talk to me tonight
I’ll be here… I’ll be here…
It comes and goes like breathing air
When Fog’s around she’s everywhere
It comes and goes like breathing air
When Fog’s around

I know what Love is

What love is
He used to be the coolest dude
That sounds about right
Eventually there’d be a feud
He’d shine his light on
Excuse me if I may, he led
I’d have a couple words to say
I know what Love is
I know and that ain’t what you give
No that ain’t what you give
Confuse, diffuse an attitude
He got it spot on
He’d offer you a tip or two
You’d need to hang on
But something was out of place
A little feeling nothing can replace
I know what Love is
I know and that ain’t what you give
No that ain’t what you give
I’ve been tagging along
For longer than I can remember
Light can shadow good sense
A heart is not to be convinced
Words are powerful bate
I’m always remembered too late
I know what Love is
I know and that ain’t what you give
No that ain’t what you give

Wallflower
Starring at the sky
I wonder if you’ll try
To come any closer
Are you scared or are you shy?
Any time I glance
The bigger is the chance
You notice me as I advance with
Fear and hope for a great romance
Oh, don’t be cruel
I may be a fool
Will you take my hand and share this dance?
Share this dance
Starring at my feet
Is this all on repeat?
Tonight would be so much better
If you and I could share this beat
No more clocks
Time has stopped
I’ll pretend
That we’re dancing in the street
Oh, don’t be cruel
I may be a fool
Will you take my hand and share this dance?
Will I dare to even talk to you?
I’ll ask the band to play ‘I wanna hold your hand’
To hold your hand
And share this dance

The Ceiling and the floor
Instead of chasing the black clouds away
I just keep my head down
Am I wasting time
Feigning all is fine
Pretending I’m the king and you’re the queen
But the ceiling and the floor
Are still the same
Hope the mist might calm the anger
And kill the pain
Instead of facing the nightmares
I’m running into walls
Trying to keep a smile on
These thoughts of lead
Make me want to lay my head
Pretending I’m the king and you’re the queen
But the ceiling and the floor
Are still the same
Hope the mist might calm the anger
And kill the pain
It seems so complicated
To see you go and parting our own ways
It’s hard I’m so frustrated
I’m hanging on denial for one more day
I’ve been here time and time again
I really thought I changed my game
My queen, my pain
But the ceiling and the floor
Remain the same
And the mist won’t calm the anger
Or kill the pain

What you gonna do?
02:53

What you gonna do ?
I got a neat trick
That just might make you believe in magic
What you thought is now mine
Gently taking the hit with a smile
What you gonna do when it comes for you?
What you gonna do when it’s done?
I’m like a gentle breeze
I’ll just make you hold your head up and sneeze
And now you’re shaking
Cause you can’t remember
What you’re supposed to believe in
What you gonna do when it comes for you?
What you gonna do when it’s done?
What’s this all about
Is your soul facing a drought?
How do those teeth stand in your mouth?
Those crazy words should knock ‘em out
Too late you took the bait, too late
I’m a fucking hurricane
A distributor of anger and pain
You are my faithful one
For as long as you remain bored and numb
Bored and numb
What you gonna do when it comes for you?
What you gonna do when it’s done?
